  2. UK Only - Intelligent Octopus problems with latest update

    Yes & no. The nice thing with Intelligent Octopus is that it's entirely grid dependent. So in my experience if my local grid is under utilised then often I often get 8+ hours across all times of the day at low peak rates. The main issue was I also lost direct car control, so I moved to...

    Posts from this board are published/listed on the main page so people are clicking into them and chiming in without realising they're posted in a UK context. Maybe we need to request from the site admin for filtering them out or prefixing with [UK] so it's clearer. I hate the way that the...

    In addition to the previous I double checked my paperwork and indeed it calls out the Brake Fluid as not being covered. Personally, I have my 2 year service next month and will decline the work as part of the overall service. With 1-pedal I've barely touched the brakes in two years.
  5. Issues connecting to Octopus intelligent

    Huge thanks, that makes sense! Definitely not as plug and play or flexible as the direct OI to Mach E connection (I was getting the cheap rate at much longer time span than the default) but seeing as Ford are determined to shut down 3rd party innovation via the API it is what it is. It will stop...
  6. Issues connecting to Octopus intelligent

    Are you able to share a summary of your Ohmi settings? I've swapped IO from the Mach E to the Ohme Pro but when I plug in I'm not getting any smart control it just charges immediately until I manually pause. I'd wondered whether it's because the Ohme has no feedback data from the car to guage...
  7. OVO charge anytime tariff / Octopus EV tariff info

    I'm not near my Ohmi Pro currently, but from memory the app gives very little functionality that you wouldn't otherwise get from a comparable car scheduler. The display is pretty verbose also, and you have some basic controls available on the device itself. So ultimately even if, and it's a...
  8. OVO charge anytime tariff / Octopus EV tariff info

    Same here, I'm getting charging windows between 2200-0800 pretty regularly. System works well for me.
  9. Hideous Insurance Renewal Cost Increase

    Seems like Ford Insure is just a white label resell of Admiral as the application is exactly the same as what I filled in with them yesterday. In any case they're suggesting my quote is *£3,259.12* total for the year LOL so at least Admiral direct were 'only' asking for £2100. Looks like I'm...

    Good to see. Just got the 3.5.3.4 notice here. Can't say I'll use the Alexa functionality but full screen Android Auto is definitely very great to finally see!
  11. Hideous Insurance Renewal Cost Increase

    Renewal with Churchill came through. Last year was £900, this year £1800! Absolutely taking the piss, I have no changes and at least 10 years no claims. This is unsustainable if trend follows for all electronic car insurance, it's going to set back the ev adoption years if it becomes...

    Does anyone happen to know the rough price for the supply & fit of the removable towbar? TrustFord not returning my calls once again...

    :oops: <- me holding my breath (along with Frunk release, full screen android auto, PaaK, etc, etc, etc... :p)
  15. U.K. getting BlueCruise in Summer 2023

    https://www.ford.co.uk/technology/driving-assistance/ford-bluecruise Looks like it's live for 2023 cars... Is it just a software limitation for us existing owners or are we missing hardware? In any case the huge fragmentation between features of this car between owners is so confusing and...
  16. UK Key

    After a flurry of BMW/Range Rover thefts in our area I was suddenly seeing our 'Ford Fiesta key' in a new light. Yeah I'd love to have a nice chunky Mustang key, but for the peace of mind to not have to constantly worry about Faraday cages, crook locks, etc, like my last 2 Jags, I'm pretty...
  17. UK Only: Octopus Energy - Intelligent Octopus Tariff - How you finding it?

    My old Go tariff finally expires this week so I've moved into the Go variable tariff along with Intelligent Charging. I've set up the app and car and will wait and see how it goes. Sad to see my 7.5p overnight charging go though. Alongside almost a doubling of my daytime rate, my annual...
  18. Lost my radio station pre-sets (FM and DAB)

    This happens to me every time I remote start the car via the Android app also.
  19. FSA 22P25 notification

    I sent this note to my dealer and they said they'd already applied it on my last service in November, so I guess Ford sent this to everyone or the systems are slow to update. I've not received any OTA at all since then though. Curious whether we'll ever get anything like the Power-up 4.x...

    I'd be surprised if Ford, Kia, etc, didn't react with their own price change to counter this.
